Alma Mavis Taraza
From Dune
Original Dune
This article or section refers to elements from Original Dune.
Alma Mavis Taraza was the Bene Gesserit Mother Superior approximately 1500 years after the death of Leto Atreides II. She was in control of the Bene Gesserit when the Rakian Priesthood discovered that a village girl named Sheeana could command the sandworms. Upon discovering this, Taraza ordered Reverend Mother Darwi Odrade to take the girl under her wing and train her as a Bene Gesserit.
Taraza was also responsible for purchasing a series of Duncan Idaho gholas from the Bene Tleilaxand training them. However, each ghola was killed in childhood, most likely by the Tleilaxu. It was not until Taraza travelled to the planet Laernaus to bring the Bashar Miles Teg out of retirement that they managed to successfully escape assassination in order to adequately train and raise an Idaho ghola.
Taraza was killed when Honored Matres attacked the city of Keen on Rakis. Darwi Odrade succeeded her.
